Narrative:
Air carrier X flight to ZZZ. First officer was flying. He landed safely on a snowy runway 20, made a left turn on taxiway D to go back northbound to return to the ramp/gate. I completed after landing checklist and turned to open cockpit doors (standard operating practices). First officer said he was sliding (left, west). I took controls and went into full reverse thrust to stop forward motion. Came to stop on left edge of taxiway. Used differential power to get back on centerline. I taxied the rest of the way to the gate. Upon shutdown, I noticed that 2 blades of the left engine had struck a taxiway edge light. Contributing factors: 1) snow the day before probably melted and then froze overnight -- ice under snow. 2) lack of adequate sand on taxiway for traction. Corrective actions: 1) make a u-turn on runway (had good traction) to back taxi to ramp. 2) more sand on txwys. 3) specific braking action reports for specific txwys (make a more informed decision).

Title: BE-190 CREW ENCOUNTERED NIL BRAKING ON A TXWY GOING TO THE GATE. THEY HIT A TXWY LIGHT ON THE L SIDE OF THE TXWY.
Narrative: ACR X FLT TO ZZZ. FO WAS FLYING. HE LANDED SAFELY ON A SNOWY RWY 20, MADE A L TURN ON TXWY D TO GO BACK NBOUND TO RETURN TO THE RAMP/GATE. I COMPLETED AFTER LNDG CHKLIST AND TURNED TO OPEN COCKPIT DOORS (STANDARD OPERATING PRACTICES). FO SAID HE WAS SLIDING (L, W). I TOOK CTLS AND WENT INTO FULL REVERSE THRUST TO STOP FORWARD MOTION. CAME TO STOP ON L EDGE OF TXWY. USED DIFFERENTIAL PWR TO GET BACK ON CTRLINE. I TAXIED THE REST OF THE WAY TO THE GATE. UPON SHUTDOWN, I NOTICED THAT 2 BLADES OF THE L ENG HAD STRUCK A TXWY EDGE LIGHT. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS: 1) SNOW THE DAY BEFORE PROBABLY MELTED AND THEN FROZE OVERNIGHT -- ICE UNDER SNOW. 2) LACK OF ADEQUATE SAND ON TXWY FOR TRACTION. CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: 1) MAKE A U-TURN ON RWY (HAD GOOD TRACTION) TO BACK TAXI TO RAMP. 2) MORE SAND ON TXWYS. 3) SPECIFIC BRAKING ACTION RPTS FOR SPECIFIC TXWYS (MAKE A MORE INFORMED DECISION).
